Chapter Edited by: Chinthani
YunGe felt that taking her disciple to the back mountains opened up the door to her disciple"s world.
Thus, on a yet another morning, YunGe finished her meditation to find that the disciple who had been asleep, had gone missing.
YunGe facepalmed. How many times had this happened?
YunGe went to the back mountains and saw her disciple surrounded by several spirituals beasts. She was beating them up in a desperate manner.
YunGe picked her up, then glanced at the several spiritual beasts pretending to die. “Why did you sneak out again? It"s too early!”
“…” The disciple"s face was red. Out of YunGe"s line of sight, the disciple glared at the spiritual beasts. The spiritual beasts shivered; living a good life was too difficult!!!
YunGe felt this group of spiritual beasts were very sensible; they had not harmed her disciple. However, she examined her disciple"s body to rea.s.sure herself. After confirming there were no problems, YunGe pinched her nose. “Since nothing bad happened, it"s fine!”
“Master…” The disciple affectionately rubbed against YunGe"s neck. “Master, am I useless?…”
YunGe patted her head. “Of course not, you"re very powerful.”
She earnestly checked her disciple"s spiritual veins. She couldn"t detect any problems. YunGe herself could not even begin to compare with the amount of spiritual energy her disciple could absorb. However, the problem lies in the disciple"s inability to learn the most basic skill of drawing out energy and letting it enter the body.
This problem was worrying YunGe almost to death. Her disciple"s innate skill seemed comparable to Tian Dao"s biological daughter, except she suddenly turned out to be an illegitimate daughter…
Elder Lian had seen the disciple; he merely shook his head. He had also believed that with a pure Yin body and a single spiritual vein, the disciple"s cultivation ought to defy natural order. However, he had not expected her to possess the worst single-element spiritual veins which focused on vitality: Wood spiritual veins. Furthermore, a pure Yin physique had no attack power with the Nine Yin Channels. Having just one attribute would have resulted in rapid progress in cultivation, but having both had resulted in the worst possible outcome.
Elder Lian had carefully discussed the matter with YunGe. It would be problematic for the disciple to learn how to absorb energy into the body, let alone reaching Foundation Establishment.
YunGe didn"t change her mind about keeping the disciple. But she did wonder whether she ought to find the disciple a strict senior brother or a sister. That could ensure that her disciple had someone around, even in YunGe"s absence.
Of course, YunGe couldn"t mention this to her disciple. Ever since Elder Lian"s visit, the disciple had become even more clingy. She would not permit the existence of even a little gap between them, hanging on YunGe"s body, like a baby kangaroo.
However, YunGe was more worried about her disciple running to the back mountains to pick fights with spiritual beasts everyday. YunGe could see her panic and restlessness.
When it was time to go back, YunGe shot a glance at the group of spiritual beasts that were hiding. They all collectively quivered. Their lives were too full of hardship!! Although they had stealthily leveled up, they weren"t happy at all!! Inhumane treatment was also received… but the most significant part was that they had to receive the mistreatment!! Even that stupid human used that kind of gaze to intimidate them… so tiring… they would like to quit being spiritual beasts. Hereafter, they must break away from this demon and go to the Level 2 area…
YunGe didn"t know the thoughts of the group behind her. She just picked up her cool disciple, turned and left. For a cultivator, change of seasons meant no difference. Even if the sky was filled with snow, YunGe could wear her summertime attire. Her disciple was different; she could not draw out energy and let it enter her body. Even if she was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with spiritual power, it would be pointless. And so, the disciple got wrapped up into a Zongzi by YunGe. The addition of a cloak increased her resemblance to a Zongzi. [1]
The entire mountain was blanketed in snow. The scenery was coloured in white as far as the eye could see. Because of YunGe"s cultivation base, there were no Level 1 spiritual beasts around to pester the two. It was deathly silent. The only sound was YunGe"s footsteps. Her disciple leaned into YunGe"s embrace and listened to the sound of her steady heartbeat. Putong. Putong… it was as if someone had put a loudspeaker next to her ear and played this beat. It seems like this was the entirety of the world.
By the time they returned to the cave, the disciple"s mood had stabilized. YunGe put the disciple down and looked at her; she had fallen asleep.
There was a marked difference when her disciple closed her eyes and when she was awake. The difference was made by her pair of eyes which seemed to contain a bright sun within. They glistened all the time. YunGe felt contented.
“Master…” The disciple leisurely woke up, her voice soft. YunGe could no longer see in her the child that had isolated herself in her own world.
The disciple did not know why, but she is particularly fond of these cheeks and these glistening, round pair of eyes. She resembled a little rabbit stealing a carrot. After being fed by YunGe everyday, her disciple"s face had more meat. Her cheeks tempted one to poke them. YunGe was the type of person who did not like to hold back on her impulses. And so she poked her disciple"s bulging cheek. “What the matter? Hungry?”
“Master, you didn"t wake me up~” The disciple"s tone was impatient. “I need to go cultivate!”
“Puchi…” YunGe laughed and poked her cheeks again. The feeling was really nice. “No rush, it"s still early.”
“Not anymore!” The disciple hastily ate, stuffing her cheeks with food. YunGe kept an eye on her disciple, in fear of her choking.
“No need to rush.” YunGe quickly handed her a cup of water. The disciple had not realized that she couldn"t let out energy into her body. YunGe had not told her.
YunGe felt distressed. “I will never throw you away, regardless of the situation.” So you can be a little girl. It doesn"t matter.
The disciple lifted her head and gazed at YunGe with bright eyes. “Master…” Without waiting for YunGe to say anything, the disciple smacked her lips and went over to kiss her face. YunGe froze, then smiled. Such a heart warmer!
Seeing YunGe in a daze, the disciple held the cloak firmly, not wanting appear relaxed. So many times she had seen her so-called younger sister, so proud of herself, flaunting by kissing that woman like this…
Then she saw a flash, another pair of eyes, a gullible white face… In a split second, it dissolved. YunGe widened her smile. She saw her disciple"s eyebrows but not her eyes…
The disciple gradually loosened her hand. This person…
